		<title>Targeted gene deletions in C. elegans using transposon excision</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Targeted gene deletions in C. elegans using transposon excision&#8221; is now available in advance online publication form at Nature Methods.
Even after 40 years of intense genetics in the model system C. elegans, a large majority of genes have not yet been disabled by deletion. Although targeted deletions have been possible in flies and mice for [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Worthy Mercurial (hg) Tutorial from Joel Spolsky</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At WormBase, we&#8217;ve been busy re-writing the website from the ground up to build a modern information discovery space that will generically handle genomic data.
As the project manager, I made the executive decision to switch from CVS/SVN to a distributed version control system (DVCS).  I&#8217;d used both git and mercurial personally for over a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finishers and curators are the unsung heroes of the Genome Era.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The utility of genome sequencing projects would be greatly reduced without the efforts of finishers and curators.
A few days ago, Elie Dolgin wrote in Nature News about the role that finishers are playing to complete and make sense of the human genome (see &#8220;Human Genomics: The Genome Finishers&#8221;, 16 December 2009 &#124; Nature  462, [...]]]></description>

		<title>An early model for open access reopens (say hello to the new Worm Breeder&#8217;s Gazette!)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Worm Breeder&#8217;s Gazette was an early model of open access publishing. Today, it returns.


The C. elegans research community has a long tradition of open access.


This spirit led the community to adopt early a standard nomenclature for genes, alleles, proteins, strains, and mutant phenotypes.  Standardization made it vastly easier to discuss biological concepts and [...]]]></description>

		<title>23andMe launches Longevity Survey</title>
		<description><![CDATA[DTC personal genomics company 23andMe has just launched a new Longevity Survey that aims to tease out the genetic basis of a long life.
Early studies in longevity were pioneered in the model organism C. elegans, a roundworm. C. elegans is a perfect model system for studying aging.  It&#8217;s small (1mM in length), it develops [...]]]></description>
